    Default qa1 tubular k member install

    Putting my new k member in my 91 GT today and ran into a issue with the rear most lower control arm bolts not fitting because of the collar on the bolt not clearing the k member. I am using stock lca's. Anyone ever ran into this problem? If so what did you guys do to correct the issue?

    Yep ran into that problem, fixed it by throwing it in the trash can, or selling it cheap.

    im gonna be looking for a good deal on one before the spring... you can always buy another bolt or drill a new hole but i dont know exactly what your looking at... fyi... the wing of a 747 is held on by two bolts... make sure you buy the good ones if you get a new one
